Kool Aid Hair Dye

After last year's success dyeing the girls' hair with Kool Aid, we decided to do it again. But to make things a little easier, instead of the elaborate setup with cups, I thought we'd try laying down in the tub and letting their hair rest in a tray of Kool Aid.

Sweet Pea picked orange. CC picked grape.

In some ways, it was a success -- it was much less messy, and no risk of spills. But in the most important way, it was not a success -- their hair color didn't really stick. This was clearly user error: I only had them soak their hair in the Kool Aid for about 15 minutes. Next year we need to go back to 30 minutes (or longer).

But hey ... it was a fun experiment!
